It rises in eastern Lincoln County , in the Wilson Creek Range . It flows generally south, past Panaca and Caliente , along the east side of the Delamar Mountains and west of the Meadow Valley Range into northeastern Clark County . It crosses Interstate 15 approximately 40 mi (64 km) northwest of Las Vegas, then enters the northern arm of Lake Mead, just west of the mouth of the Virgin. The wash has provided a green valley in the surrounding arid region that has been attractive to Native Americans and later to early Mormon settlers. A railroad was constructed along the wash in 1903 but was destroyed by Flood s in 1910 . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
